Bu Jingyun's expression was cold and indifferent, almost as if he was ignoring it. For a long time, he didn't answer and Wuming hadn't yet figured out what to do, but Jianchen was already somewhat angry. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard a clear laugh coming from the side hall.
"Haha, if the Tianxia Hui really attacked the imperial city and killed Juewushen, why should this great land be returned to that incompetent emperor?"
Li Xiu walked in, and Bu Jingyun immediately stood up to give up his seat, but Li Xiu waved his hand and just found a wooden chair to sit down comfortably.
Wuming's face showed a hint of surprise, Bu Jingyun, as the leader of the Tianxia Hui, actually treated this young man with such respect, and even had a hint of respect. Who is he, why hasn't he heard of him before.
Although Wuming said he was retiring from the martial arts world, he still kept an eye on the overall situation in the world, in case any bloody storms that he couldn't prevent occurred.
He knew that the Tianxia Hui had changed leaders, and the new leader, Bu Jingyun, was unruly and arrogant, but now Bu Jingyun's attitude made Wuming suspicious of Li Xiu.
Wuming didn't answer and Jianchen stepped forward, saying: "The emperor is the rightful ruler, this land belongs to him, and returning it to him is nothing more than right."
"Then, who was the rightful ruler a thousand years ago?"
Li Xiu's smile disappeared from his face and he coldly stared at Jianchen as he asked in return.
The dynasties change, with kings rising and falling. Jianchen was greatly influenced by his master Wuming and often had an arrogant attitude, so he didn't think of this problem at the moment and was choked by Li Xiu's words, unable to speak for a while, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Although the current emperor hasn't made any great achievements in history, he still works hard day and night, governs earnestly and loves the people, and is considered a wise ruler. The wise should be in power, and there is nothing wrong with that. Moreover, often the change of dynasties is accompanied by blood and violence. It's better not to change easily."
Wuming's face had a smile and said gently, but there was a domineering implication that could not be refused.
Bu Jingyun, having heard this, became extremely impatient and said coldly, "If Elder Wuming, can make all decisions, then why bother coming to me, the leader of Tianxia Hui?"
"You!..."
Upon hearing Bu Jingyun's sarcastic words, Jianchen stepped forward with his sword, ready to teach him a lesson.
Li Xiu made a move, and Jianchen's sword suddenly fell out of his hand and into his own.
Wuming couldn't help but glance at him, with a hint of caution and apprehension.
The sword in Li Xiu's hand seemed like a straight and hard bamboo, and like a new born sun.
"The Hero Sword, it is said to be the most unyielding, most unbreakable and most righteous weapon in the world."
Li Xiu inserted the hero sword back into the scabbard and into the ground, the hard blue stone was as soft as mud in his hands.
"Wuming, this sword is the most suitable for you, but your disciple is not suitable for this sword, it's a waste to leave it in his hands, leave it in my Tianxia Hui."
Jianchen's anger had risen upon hearing the first half of Li Xiu's words, and when he heard the last half he could no longer hold back and shouted in anger, raising his sword and pointing it at Li Xiu to attack. He had been raised and trained in martial arts by Wuming since he was a child. Although he did not have Wuming's extraordinary talent, he was still an extraordinary talent, and at such a young age, he could already be considered a peerless master in the open martial arts world.
Jianchen's sword was filled with true energy, and his sword force was intimidating, as if he was truly holding a sharp sword to kill Li Xiu. But before he could reach Li Xiu, he was struck by Li Xiu's powerful force field, extinguishing his true energy and forcing Jianchen to the ground, his face pressed against the cold Hall floor.
Jianchen felt humiliated, his face turning red, but he couldn't stand up.
Wuming's face finally showed a hint of anger. He waved his hand, sending a bright sword light towards Li Xiu, hoping to force him back and allow Jianchen to stand up.
If one were to compare the sword energy of Jianchen as a candle in the night, then the sword light of Wuming would be comparable to the cold moonlight, bright but not dazzling, leaving behind only the ultimate sharpness. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth!
Wuming swung his hand, even though he didn't have a sword, but the sword's whistle echoed in the hall, shaking the dust and trembling. Bu Jingyun, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but be amazed at his strength. He felt that this person's martial arts were beyond imagination and far exceeded Xiongba, and perhaps even Xiongba could not survive a few moves in his hands!
"Crack!"
The intense friction and collision made the air in the hall empty, making people unable to breathe. The floor between Li Xiu and Wuming was cut with a terrible deep gully, and the thick beams of the hall were also cut off several roots.
Although Li Xiu successfully blocked the sword with his force field, he was still shaken by it. The martial arts of Wuming were indeed beyond his expectations. If Emperor Shitian's martial arts were as powerful as this, it would have been fine, but Wuming was only in his thirties and his talent was truly terrifying.
Seeing that one sword had no effect, Wuming, who had not seen anyone who could withstand his sword without injury for many years, felt a slight surge in his long dormant fighting spirit. He no longer released sword light, but instead concentrated the bright and slightly blue sword light on his fingers and stepped forward to attack Li Xiu with sword techniques.
Wuming's step crossed several meters, and his sword light slashed towards Li Xiu with a sorrowful sword roar.
Li Xiu's eyes showed a hint of intention. He no longer used his force field to block everything in front of him, but instead used his finger to deflect Wuming's sword light.
"Bang!"
The sound of the explosion echoed, and under the shocked gaze of Wuming, the bright sword light broke down and dissipated like a fragile crystal!
Wuming immediately retreated and after a moment of panic, he again launched a strong attack with sword light. This time it was different, there was no hint of light spilling out, it was truly like a pale blue crystal sword, containing an indescribable sharpness and sense of threat!
Li Xiu couldn't help but look away, fearing that even with enough strong true energy to protect, even the legendary Divine weapons like Snow Drinking Mad Knife and Peerless Good Sword would be broken in two under this shocking sword light.
However, Li Xiu still did not use true energy or force field, his expression remained calm and he simply reached out with a fleshy hand to grab Wuming's fierce attack.
"Bang!"
In a moment, a loud and piercing sound of friction echoed within the hall as Li Xiu grabbed the sword light and crushed it with a grind of his hand, turning it into a scatter of sparkling fragments.
Wuming retreated quickly, dissipating the
remaining sword light in his hand, his face filled with fear and awe.
Just now, when Wuming saw Li Xiu effortlessly block his sword strike that could cut through gold and iron, he immediately withdrew any intention of holding back. That strike just now could be said to be him using all his strength, yet it still couldn't hurt Li Xiu in the slightest. So why would he bother going forward and making a fool of himself.
The two of them had only two real exchanges, which were extremely short. Bu Jingyun could only see two residual images touch and then separate, twice in a row, and the second time, almost nothing was damaged. But he had already clearly recognized what is meant by "Heaven outside of heaven."
When martial arts reaches a level that is difficult for ordinary people to withstand, if one wants to be natural and not have any hint of energy leakage, for example, the last sword of Wuming, Bu Jingyun has a strong intuition that if Wuming had not wielded it with strength and solidness, he may have been able to cut the entire rooftop of this Hall in half!
And Li Xiu is even more terrifying. He defeated Xiongba with three moves, but now compared to Xiongba, Wuming is still three moves, his true strength is deep and vast, impossible to gauge or estimate.
